Even More Testimonials

Alexander Koch

& Melissa Jones

"The Resilient Uprising Training has made a lasting impact on my activism and my personal life. Even though I had been taking nonviolent civil disobedient action for over five years, this training has taught me much about nonviolence that I didn't yet know. I feel decidedly different about myself, my interactions with others and what I want to do in the world. I am very grateful for having been given the opportunity to attend. It has taken my understanding of nonviolence to a whole new level."

Juno, Extinction Rebellion Netherlands

"The collaborative leadership retreat opened my eyes to completely new ways of thinking about non-violence and leadership. I take with myself a plethora of new ideas for my day to day work and a feeling of actually being able to start leading and guiding people."

Julian, Core-Team Peacefully against Genocide, Germany

On our instagram channel you can find more inside-perspectives and see some of the participants.

We facilitate and support community learning and action with a focus on collaborative leadership, integrative decisions, systemic change, inner transformation, and nonviolent conflict resolution. With each interaction that truly cares for everyone, no matter how small, we help build a more connected, peaceful, and sustainable future for all life.

We help people and groups take action that cares for everyone’s needs. We love creating and sharing simple practices for group decisions, self-organizing, and collaborative leadership. We draw from diverse frameworks rooted in nonviolence to create supportive spaces for transformation:

• where everyone is fully engaged and shares what is true for them

• where agreements and structures support people in navigating complexity and finding common ground

• where growing trust means people are willing to commit to decisions made by others, even when they are not involved or have a different preference

More About the Team

Financial assistance

As part of transitioning away from capitalism, we are experimenting with ways of sharing money based on needs. We all work together to make this program sustainable and accessible. If you need financial assistance to participate, please share about your needs when you register and we will include them when making decisions about money. We may connect with you to get more information. While we would love to support everyone, we often don't have enough money to cover all of our financial needs. Please consider also raising funds through other channels to support the event in being more sustainable.

Gifting money

To keep the intensive accessible, we don't charge a fixed price for participation. Instead, we share the total amount needed and invite everyone in our ecosystem to contribute what they can. We are in the process of collecting information about everyone's needs and will provide regular updates and some support for fund raising. Anyone can gift us money at any time, regardless of which offerings you participate in, and you can participate even if you can’t afford to gift any money.

This way of sharing resources builds community and supports people with less access to resources. It also creates more risk for the organizing team because we may not receive enough money. To help us reduce this risk, we invite you to already pledge or contribute money if you are willing. You can also do that later, and early contributions make a big difference. Based on our previous intensive, we estimate the total needs for this intensive will be between 26,000 and 50,000 Euros, or around 650-1250 Euro per participant on average. (not including participants' travel expenses). We deeply appreciate early gifts as they help us cover upfront costs like the location and food.

You can also use the paid registration option if you need to register to get access to training funds or financial support from your organization. This means we would send you an invoice with a fixed price. Please connect with us to arrange it.

How we handel Money

We live in a time when the brokenness of our world is undeniable

Climate collapse, rising authoritarianism, deep inequality, and the erosion of collective hope.

Since the fall of alternatives to extractive capitalism, many have turned inward, isolated in silos and stripped of faith in a shared future.

The thread of resistance and collective courage has never been lost.

Across history, mentors and movements have shown us another path: Civil resistance, solidarity, and the discovery of strength in community.

There is a tradition and we are gathering the teachers to deliver the key learning.

There's Hope...
